Had our Public Health practical exam today. I identified almost everything correctly but a lot of us had issues with the ticky boxes we were supposed to use to answer the questions. I think I’ve passed but I won’t know for sure until the oral list goes up next week.

Help!
Just in from driving lesson number 18.
Instructor decided I should try reverse parking.
Still not happy going backwards.
Knees shaking.

Was woken this morning by a noisy Class-37 double-ender train going past my window not long after 8am. I hate trains.
We're almost at the end of lectures for this term. Large animal lectures finished last week, and we only have one more week of small animal lectures before we get a week's study leave for the exams coming up.
This week saw us sitting through lectures on horse reproduction and foal care (a bit like the horsey part of the vet TV series on BBC1 at the moment) and a three-hour seminar on tortoises and snakes (with some excellent anecdotes, none of which I am going to repeat here!). I find reptiles and amphibians challenging - more and more, people are expecting vets to be experts on everything, and as we only get three hours on reptiles and nothing on amphibians, it's hard to know where to start!
I've also been helping post-mortem more otters this week - it's nice to have somewhere to go to during the week, that isn't in any way associated with studying or course work - although it does make for good revision!
Off now for a driving lesson. Somehow not looking forward to it this morning!

Had an interesting day today.
After my driving lesson this morning (don't ask), I went up to the vet school for the annual Zoological Society Symposium, which lasted all day. There was some really interesting stuff - including a talk on Avian Influenza, especially relevant due to the outbreak in Suffolk this week.
Last night was Mr Vet School 2007. For the uninitiated (and therefore still sane) readers of this blog, MVS is an excuse for vet students to get together and get drunk, for the guys to wear as little as possible and the most ourageous dresses (yes, dresses) they can find, and to get the staff socialising (read: as drunk as possible) with the students. Dodgy as it sounds (and is) it's always a fun night out!
Got my driving theory test on Tuesday so now need to go revise.
I hate studying!
